International Marketing BMA785
Introduction
As global business continues to grow, understanding marketing in all cultures is
essential. Understanding diversity is critical due to cultural, economic, technological,
political and legal differences, which affect consumer choices and consequently the
marketing process. International marketing recognises that consumers across the
globe have diverse needs, preferences, and expectations. International marketing
considers the opportunities to market new and existing products and services that
meet consumer preferences and expectations at a global level. The focus of this unit is
on developing your knowledge of factors that affect consumer decision-making at a
global level.
In this unit, you will develop knowledge about the various marketing concepts, such
as the environment of international markets, international market selection and entry,
product, price, place, and promotion strategies for international markets. The unit will
allow you to identify various strategies that international marketers apply to gain a
competitive advantage in the complex global market. The unit will enable you to
develop knowledge and skills for adapting and implementing marketing strategies for
international markets.
